For me, the picture is entitled "All his contempt" because it captures precisely this moment in which someone expresses all their feelings, their disappointment and anger, but without a loud outburst. It is the quiet contempt that fascinates me - this leaning back in the chair, no longer looking at the world, but at the flaming red sky. For me, the sunset or moonrise symbolises this final point at which nothing more can be said. The colour of the sky, almost aggressive, reflects exactly that: a fire within, but it remains silent on the outside.
The figure in the picture - it is alone, and that is also what this contempt is all about. It separates, it isolates, and yet it remains trapped within itself. This gaze into the distance, where there is nothing but an endless horizon, expresses for me the inner emptiness that remains when you no longer feel anything for anyone or anything. It is the turning away, the cold distance, that attracts me to this motif. Not a loud farewell, but a final letting go - in peace and quiet, with everything that can no longer be put into words.
The contempt here is not impulsive or loud, it is deep, calm and final. The picture symbolises that moment when you give up all affection and hope and simply continue to stare into the distance, because there is nothing left worth fighting for.
